I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Galway Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,300. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Galway Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,300 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,650 • Final term tuition: $1,250 • Exam and lab fees: $85 • Textbooks and materials: $315 Thank you so much. - Clodagh

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Clodagh?

    • Bruno R. Sánchez

      Hope it all works out. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless!

      • Iwona Zakrzewski

        • Jade G. Nunez

          Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 25 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
